[scratch Build] Handmade aluminium chassis Project

http://i61.tinypic.com/3359ok1.jpg

Hi, i am Pablo from Argentina and i want to share a tiny log of my handmade pc.

It is made basically from a 6mm aluminium sheet, another of 3mm and an aluminium bar to do the machined spacers

I am always doing some minor tuning to my stuff but always wanted to make a full chassis with custom liquid cooling.

The hardware is:

- i7 4770k @ 4.6 ghz delidded with collaboratory liquid pro

- Asus maximus VI formula

- 16 gb DDR3 corsair dominator platinum 2400 mhz

- Ati HD 7750 a bit overclocked (I chose it because at that moment it was the best card that not require external power)

- Corsair CX600M power supply

- 256 gb Samsung 850 pro SSD for the OS

- 128 gb OCZ vertex 4 SSD

- 2 Tb WD black for storage

Water Cooling:

- XSPC raystorm cpu block

- XSPC ex240 radiator

- XSPC acrylic DDC tank reservoir multiport

- Laing thermotech DDC 3.25 pump (18 w)

- Bitspower and Enzo black 19/13mm compression fittings

- XSPC high flex black 19/13mm hose

- Corsair air series SP120 quiet edition low noise high pressure

External peripherals

- Dell U2711 (2560x1440)

- Alienware Tactx Keyboard

- Logitech MX performance

- Sennheiser momentum headphones

So here it is:
